Summer... Perfect Goal Setting Weather!

June is a great month to sit down and set some goals for yourself and your business.  People often associate the New Year with goals and resolutions but I find Spring and Summer a much better time.  The warmer weather really inspires me.

Goal setting is the number one way to achieve success in everything.  Take some time to sit down and imagine what you want and where you want to be.  Write down goals for the month, the year and the next five years for both you personally and for your business.   Don't forget to dream big.  Rarely does someone accomplish something they never imagined for themselves.

I like to do daily goals for myself which most people call a To Do List.  It feels good to check things off the list and I always am sure to include the daily tasks that are moving me towards the bigger goals.  It's a great daily check in and reminder of what I want to be working towards.

Post the bigger goals somewhere so that you see them every day.  Share them with your friends, family and employees.  Others can't help you if they don't know what it is you are working towards.  It is also helpful to talk about your goals with others because it makes it more real.  As you share your goals out loud you are actually making them a reality for yourself.

Once you achieve a goal be sure to celebrate.  Acknowledge your success and be proud in what you have accomplished.  Then sit right back down and write some more goals.  As you see it work in your life beware - amazing things will happen!
